Doppelgangers are often said to be harbingers of bad luck.
So that may explain why Lily Collins was seen running at speed on the set of her upcoming film City of Bones in Toronto, Canada today.
The 23-year-old English actress was spotted staring at her stunt double before she took flight in an exciting chase sequence.
She reminds me of someone: Lily Collins was spotted staring at her stunt double on the set of City of Bones in Toronto today
It is only the second day the starlet, who is the daughter of pop legend Phil, has been on the set of picture, which is the first installment in the Mortal Instruments series.
Yesterday she enjoyed a more sedate day recording scenes with her rumoured beau Jamie Campbell.
But today it was all action, and she worked up a sweat by charging through the streets in a pair of denims, boots, T-shirt, plaid shirt and hooded jacket.
There is little doubt she will have earned some of her bumper paycheque by taking part in the physical scenes.
Rearly confusing: It was impossible to tell who was who when the pair turned their backs on the camera
Hello I must be going: Phil would be impressed at the speed his daughter managed to run down the street
You can't hurry love: But Lily did not seem to be in a mind for slowing down in the exciting chase scene
And there was one exciting moment where she came a cropper after running into a bicyclist.
It looked like she was just about to be apprehended by a mystery pursuer as a man looked set to grab her after her pavement mishap.
But it was not all working up a sweat as she later slowed down to record some dialogue scenes with her co-star Robert Sheehan, who plays her best friend in the film.
Oops: She managed to knock a gentleman off his bicycle such was her fleet of foot
Nabbed: It looked like her pursuer was just about to grab her following her unfortunate accident
Let me help you: The kind-hearted actress helped the extra get back on his bike after the cameras stopped rolling
Lily is starring as Clary Flay, a teenager who discovers she is the descendant of a line of 'shadowhunters,' a secret group of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons.
One difference between the film and book is that in the novel her character is 15-years-old, but this will surely be changed in the movie.
Robert, 24, plays Simon Lewis, her human best friend who is secretly in love with her.
In a case of art imitating life, her real-life squeeze Jamie is playing Jace Waylard, a fellow shadowhunter who she ends up dating.
City of Bones is the first entry of a six-part best-selling book series, and makers Sony are doubtlessly hoping it follows in the footsteps of other young adult book hits Twilight and The Hunger Games.
Another day in paradise: Lily seemed to be really enjoying herself in the Canadian summer sunshine
Two hearts: Lily and co-star Robert Sheehan are best friends and potential love interests in the film
Crossover success: Studio bosses are hoping The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones will be as successful as Twilight
